[Bug c++/33520] New: Usage of extern inline functions violates C++ standard dcl 7.1.2 (4)

["gcc at artemfrolov dot fastmail dot fm" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

According to C++ standard 7.1.2 (4):
An inline function shall be defined in every translation unit in which
it  is  used  and shall have exactly the same definition in every case

For the following code:
---------
inline.cc
---------
#include <stdio.h>

inline void foo() {
    printf("Hey!\n");
}

void bar() {
    foo();
}
----------
main.cc
----------
extern void foo();
int main() {
    foo();
    return 0;
}
----------

g++ -std=c++98 main.cc inline.cc

creates a program and does not report any violation of the standard.
